Low-dose radiation therapy eases knee osteoarthritis pain
በAI የተዘገበ
A Korean clinical trial has demonstrated that low-dose radiation therapy significantly reduces pain and improves mobility in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, outperforming placebo effects. The treatment, which uses doses far below those for cancer, showed no side effects and could serve as an alternative to medications or surgery. Results were presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting.
AI forecasts future knee X-rays to track osteoarthritis
Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed an AI system that predicts a patient's knee X-ray appearance one year ahead, aiding in osteoarthritis management. The tool generates visual forecasts and risk scores, presented at MICCAI 2025. It promises faster, more transparent predictions for better patient care.
